Palace intrigue and household drama + standing her ground before being reborn + becoming a sweet, scheming darling after being reborn + sweet romance + political machinations + face-slapping
Love grows over time. The hero falls more and more in love, until he can’t get enough of her, while the heroine stays clear-headed, sweet, and cunning.
Qing Li is a lowly maid. In her previous life, her exceptional beauty caught the eye of Xia Wanxuan, the heir’s wife, who gave her to the heir, Sima Xuanzhou, as a concubine.
In her previous life, Qing Li was fiercely proud and resisted to the death. In the end, Xia Wanxuan threw her into the stables, where several grooms abused and tortured her until she died.
After being reborn, Qing Li came to her senses and decided to live differently.
The heir, Sima Xuanzhou, was naturally cold and aloof. Qing Li bore a striking resemblance to his unattainable first love, “S” [kept secret for now].
Once she sees through his heart, she alternates between seducing him and turning him away.
Under Qing Li’s painstaking schemes, Sima Xuanzhou falls for her step by step, and she becomes the only one he loves.
“I just love the way you don’t love me.”
In the end, the heir defies everyone, even falling out with his father, demotes Xia Wanxuan, and raises Qing Li to the position of heir’s wife.
Looking at the ailing Xia Wanxuan, Qing Li’s eyes grow red.
At last, Qing Li tramples underfoot the people who tortured her in her previous life.
